Embracing Truth, Overcoming False Teachings, and Growing in Love
1 Timothy 1:5 NLT
The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.
Our Mission
A Call to Genuine Faith: The Mission of Our Bible Study
At the heart of our mission lies a deep desire to steer people away from the misguided teachings of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and towards the true essence of the Gospel. We believe that every person deserves to be touched by the Good News of Jesus Christ and to experience the transformative power of God’s love.
We approach this mission with a compassionate and understanding spirit, recognizing that some may have been hurt or misled in the past and that the path to the truth can be a challenging one. Our goal is to create a warm and supportive community where people can freely ask questions, engage in meaningful discussions, and grow in their faith.
We hold the Bible to be the ultimate source of truth and guidance, and through its study, we believe that people can gain a deeper insight into God’s love and plan for their lives. We are dedicated to helping individuals cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to supporting them in their spiritual growth.
Our hope is that as people come to know the truth of the gospel, they will be inspired to share it and live a life brimming with love, joy, and peace. Together, we envision creating a vibrant and supportive community that will make a positive impact through our witness and service to others.
Seek God With All Your Heart
Jeremiah 29:11-13 CSB
For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the LORD’s declaration—“plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. [12] You will call to me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. [13] You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.
Luke 11:5-10 NLT
Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, [6] ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’ [7] And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’ [8] But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence. [9] “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. [10] For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
God Loves Those He Disciplines
God’s discipline leads to peaceful living with everyone around you and you are called to avoid the bitter root.
Hebrews 12:5-15 NLT
And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said, “My child, don’t make light of the LORD’s discipline, and don’t give up when he corrects you. [6] For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.” [7] As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? [8] If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. [9] Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever? [10] For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. [11] No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. [12] So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. [13] Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong. [14] Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. [15] Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.
A Beautiful Rebuke
Proverbs 25:12
A wise correction to a receptive ear is like a gold ring or an ornament of gold.
Proverbs 9:8-9
Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke the wise, and he will love you. [9] Instruct the wise, and he will be wiser still; teach the righteous, and he will learn more.
Proverbs 15:31-32
One who listens to life-giving rebukes will be at home among the wise. [32] Anyone who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever listens to correction acquires good sense.
